Pipe
Pipes are used for transporting fluids and gases in Chemical,
Petrochemical, Power Plants. They are circular in cross-section and
specified by Nominal Pipe Size.
Tube
Tubes are used for mechanical applications (Heat Exchanger, Fired
heater, Boiler, etc. They are specified by their outer diameter and
tube wall thickness, in inches or in millimetres.
Differences between Pipe and Tube
From a layman's viewpoint, both Pipe and Tube seem to be the same
as they have many similarities like both are hollow, usually made
from metals, can transfer fluids, etc. Many a time, these terms are
used interchangeably. But in actual practice Tubes and Pipes are not
the same as both possess different features.
